Wednesday's Wandering in
Weldon Springs State Park on Sept. 2

Due to this extreme heat I have not been to the park for awhile. But the last time I was there a couple weeks ago, I did take some pictures of prairie happenings.

Enjoy and in the comments please write what you have seen or done in the park!

We are in the pressure cooker for heat this week. Everyone be safe and take care when you or your pets are out in this heat.

Selfie Saturday/Sunday. Show us what you did at Weldon Springs this weekend. I met some great people. Some first time visitors and some who haven't been for a while. Can you find Betty? A heart stopping moment for me but we found her. If you don't know Betty, stop by the schoolhouse. She loves to play.
